The first notion of a Laplace operator for functionals on a Hilbert space was introduced by Levy in [l], and the idea was developed further in [2]. Levy's results depended on the posthumous work of Gateaux [3] in which the Dirichlet problem in Hilbert space was considered (without any concise definition of the Laplace operator).

This section gives insight into simple method of approximating the fractional Laplace operator.
Usage notes
May be regarded as the divergence (∇·) of the gradient (∇) of a function; i.e. Δ = ∇·∇ (= ∇²).
The class of elliptic operators is a generalization.
